There are spercific products that you need when you groom your dog, different dog have different coats. Doggy-b-good can advice you the best and right product to use.

Teeth and Chewing

Teeth are very inportant, your insurance dose not cover problems with your dogs teeth, so you need to learn how to clean them, and we can help you with that too. Between three to six months of age, a puppy begins to get its adult teeth. This period can be quite painful and may owners do not recognize the natural need to chew. This is where problems with puppies chewing on furniture, or small items that can get lodged in the puppies tummy, then you fine yourself at the vets. Doggy-b-good can show you the right way to stop your puppy from chewing house hold items, and encourage them to chew on chew toys, which can help their teeth too. There are also several sprays available to help to stop your puppy from chewing house hold items.

Health

Health cover a lot of area's, food, vacations, worming as well as keeping your puppy free from flea's
.

Socialization

While the natural fear of strangers could serve as a way to keep a curious puppy away from predators, it can also hinder normal relationships with people. During this period, startle reactions to sudden movement and sounds develop. This serves to help the puppy learn to differentiate between dangerous and safe or insignificant events. During the socialization period, the development of attachment to certain locations occurs. This is displayed by an great disturbance in the puppy whenever a change in location occurs. This is known as localization. Localization often peaks in puppies between 6-7 weeks old, and then tapers off after that time until a change in location is no longer distressing to the puppy.

Dogs that are handled and petted by humans regularly during the first eight weeks of life are generally much more amenable to being trained and living in human households. Ideally, puppies should be placed in their permanent homes between about 8 and 10 weeks of age. In some places it is against the law to take puppies away from their mothers before the age of 8 weeks. Puppies are innately more fearful of new things during the period from 10 to 12 weeks, which makes it harder for them to adapt to a new home.

At the end of your 6 weeks training course, your puppy will be more confidant and will be starting to get the basic's of particular commands. You will have more control over your puppy and starting to become the pack leader he/she needs to be a balanced dog.

Classes are held at South Chingford Congregational Church, 161 Chingford Mount Road, Chingford, London, E4 8LT
